RE: Minnow Votes Matter! - Response to a question I received about witness voting power.

[summertooth]

Noice! Yeah I look over my witness votes now and again to make sure I'm not voting inactive accounts. It's a waste of ones stake to not cast witness votes imo. Even if you don't understand how it works, just know that it does and that witness voting is important.

One more question, can't folks set a witness vote proxy? I know it use to be a thing but I can't seem to find how to do that now. I only mention it as some people don't know who to vote for other than one or two folks that they might know who are witnesses. I thought setting a proxy (meaning your 30 witness votes will mirror the votes of someone you trust here) was a good way to get more folks to vote. Just pick one and 30 are done!

I do have a couple alternate accounts I use for games but have not voted witnesses with those, yet.

Thanks for the info, great post 😛😃👍

YES! I myself proxy for a good many folks already.

It seems the easiest way is to write in your choice of proxy voter representative on https://hive.blog/~witnesses at the bottom of the page. I am sure there are other places you can set it as well, on peakd or ecency, but I have not looked them up. This link will do it for ya.

@summertooth, not sure.

Ah, hive.blog. Is there an option for that on peakd?

Sweet, thanks!

But not MINE, "SirCork" is a disabled witness in the chain from before the steem/hive fork in 2020. No way to get rid of it, but im down to like just only 5 tiny minnow voters left on it and I'm trying to reach them to let them know, so that it can fall off the list completely.

My witness is @PolleNation with @EngineWitty as my teammate, co-witness partner.

Proxy seems like a valuable tool for minnows new to it all. That witness page can be overwhelming, with all those numbers and thing 😜😎👍

Good post and comments love to see discourse like this. Thanks again!
